FULL-TIME BAKER — Charlotte's Bakery 

Charlotte's Bakery, Dubuque, IA

About Us

Charlotte's Bakery is part of the Charlotte's family — the same folks behind Charlotte's Coffee House. We're not just here to bake; we're here to be the living room of the community, a place where people come to recharge, reconnect, and recenter over something delicious. If you take pride in your craft and love making people's day a little better, we want to meet you.

Position: Full-Time Baker

We're looking for a dedicated, full-time baker to join our team. This role is hands-on from open to close — mixing, proofing, baking, and finishing our daily lineup of breads, pastries, and treats, while holding the line on quality and consistency every single time.

What You'll Do

- Prepare and bake breads, pastries, and other baked goods according to recipes and quality standards

- Manage proofing, baking, and cooling schedules to keep product flowing all day

- Maintain a clean, organized, and food-safe kitchen

- Monitor inventory and flag ingredient needs before they become a problem

- Ensure every item that leaves the kitchen meets our presentation and quality bar — remake it if it doesn't

- Work closely with front-of-house staff to keep the case stocked and coordinate order timing

- Follow all food safety and sanitation guidelines

What We're Looking For

- Previous baking or pastry experience preferred, but a strong work ethic and willingness to learn matter more

- Comfortable on your feet in a fast-paced kitchen environment

- Available for early morning shifts and weekend rotation

- Someone who takes ownership of their work and doesn't need to be told twice

- A team player who communicates clearly and treats coworkers with respect

- Food Handler certification (or willingness to obtain one upon hire)

Schedule & Pay

- Full-time, 30–40 hours per week

- Starting wage: $14–$16/hour, based on experience

Perks

- One free drink for every 4 hours worked

- 30% employee discount on food, drinks, and apparel

- Gym membership reimbursement after 90 days

- A genuinely tight-knit team that has each other's backs
